At one of the sites, the company has installed a SOMA Proxima printing press for wide web applications, with operating speeds of up to 400 metres a minute.<\/p>\n

The equipment is expected to lift annual capacity by around 30% while also shortening turnaround times and improving production efficiency for \u201chigher-volume\u201d packaging work.<\/p>\n

The company has also added a LEMO machine for making wicketted bags in sizes ranging from 230mm to 380mm.<\/p>\n

The line works with CPP, LDPE and HDPE films and can produce as many as 550 bags a minute.<\/p>\n

These bags are used for bakery, produce and personal care items.<\/p>\n

According to Coveris, the extra output should help shorten lead times and provide more flexibility when demand rises.<\/p>\n

Coveris has also brought in laser scoring technology for flexible packaging formats, including stand-up pouches and flat-bottom bags.<\/p>\n

The system is designed to create clean opening features for consumers.<\/p>\n

The company said the moves underline Poland\u2019s role in its Central and Eastern European operations.<\/p>\n

Coveris CEO Christian Kolarik said: \u201cStrategic investment in technology is key to how we grow and support our customers. By strengthening our operations in Poland, we are expanding capacity, increasing flexibility and delivering the speed and quality our customers need to compete in fast-moving markets.\u201d<\/p>\n

Recently, Coveris\u00a0completed the sale<\/a>\u00a0of its business unit paper (BU Paper) to Kingswood Capital Management.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

The unit has been renamed Paranova Print and Packaging.<\/p>\n
